In reply to Robin Litman. Wow!! This is beautiful. I couldn't imagine such a thing happening. Celebrating the earlier relationships has defeated me.

Thank you for this article. It is a good reminder that we shouldn’t take things for granted. Keeping relationships alive and current is key to deep fulfillment. The present day scenario does tend to make us slip into interactions that tend to be for the moment and can seem cavalier. However, we feel the effects immediately. The lack of depth in our dealings with each other bring dissatisfaction and a sense of loneliness. As a woman who is just 64 and married for 42 years, I am more sensitive to this fact. The reminders in this article are good to keep in mind and easy to follow. Simple remedies can make our love whole again. So, thank you for the well written advice. God bless you & keep you happy.

I really enjoyed your article & as I age I realise more that is the person not the external package that matters. Spending afternoons with my husband of 43 years looking at nature, watching our cat & chatting & laughing about life, being fully present, is whats precious in life.

This article and the accompanying comments make such perfect sense. My wife Mary, and I were married for nearly 70 years when I unfortunately lost her to kidney failure. She died peacefully in my arms at the hospital. It is only the memories of
the things we did all those years that keeps me going. Life goes on. Make the best of it. Contribute your experience and love to those around you. Celebrate with your children and grandchildren if you are lucky enough to have them in your life. Remember. What you share with those around you will become your lasting legacy. Make it a memorable one. God Bless.

Thank you for giving us info to reflect on. I have always made important relationships a priority in my life. I am a self help person and so tend to continue to work on me. I’m a widow, a mom, a grandma now too. I just retired. I’m 67. I have so much to be grateful for. I truly appreciate my family and friends. I hope to keep nurturing them and keep them special as long as I am able to do my part.

Know your work is much appreciated and admired.

Great reminder. I truly remember those days when couples (or groups) spent genuine time with one another, without distractions, especially by constant artificial intelligence. It truly is about the simple and genuine connections that make a great impact and difference. Thanks for this piece.

In reply to Dianne Whitehead. I loved every bit of your writing. I have been married for a decade and can say that nothing beats the beauty of spending quality time with the one you love.

In reply to Dawn Hasen.

This is so spot-on! I could not agree more.
I am so grateful at 66 years old to have had not one, but two great loves in my life! I am a widow and with my current partner who is also widowed. We have been together for 6 and 1/2 years. We both had and still celebrate the beautiful marriages that we had before our partners from those marriages transitioned.
So the one thing that I would add especially for anyone in a situation like I am in with my partner is to celebrate not only the love that you have for each other now but continue to celebrate your partners from your previous marriages! We both look at the love that we have now as a beautiful Second Chance for LOVE, in fact we named our SV 38-ft Gulf Star Second Chances! His first marriage was 42 years, mine was 33 years! We are both extremely grateful that the universe brought us together and know that our departed spouses were instrumental.

Stand by those you care about who are in the darkness, until they are in the light…
Thank you for these words. I cared for my husband until I was no longer able to cope with his dementia at home. I need to remember when I visit him in the Care Home to be fully and lovingly present until our Lord God takes him to be with him.

I’m grateful to have some across this article. It is spot on. I appreciate that you have managed to capture the most important reminders in relationships. It’s the little things that matter. Point #1 resonated with me and I feel #1 & #2 almost go hand in hand in my experiences. I loved reading this article and the comments were great as well. I will definitely keep coming back to this article for reminders. Thank you!

This rang true for my husband and I as he almost died a little over a week ago. He only had a 15 percent chance and survived, We are so relieved he lived and appreciate our relationship and life so much more every day. Sometimes it takes a major wake up call to learn something so important. He now has a new lease on life and we will make the best of it.Thanks for all your daily advice to improve our quality of life. You are both so special to share your wisdom. Know that you make a wonderful difference for many people everyday.
